[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 1308388, member: 25383"] when you fire form brass, it will almost always come out shorter. Just the nature of the beast. I do a 22-250 necked up to 6mm in an Ackley improved case. If I use 22-250 brass, I loose about .030", and then another .005" to square up the case mouth. Now I do all mine off of .243 Winchester brass with the case length as long as the chamber will allow. Plus there's less brass movement with the .243 case verses the 250 Savage case. I've see brass shorten as much as .040" after fire forming, and just expect it. Plus most chamber neck lengths are longer than need be, so take advantage of it. gary [/QUOTE]
